  If you notice lime traces on your dishes or a misty appearance on glassware after using your Grundig Dishwasher: * Check the rinse aid indicator and add rinse aid if necessary. Try increasing the rinse aid setting if there's enough rinse aid in the machine. * Measure the hardness of your water supply and check the water hardness setting on your dishwasher to ensure it's appropriately set. * Be careful not to spill salt around the salt filling hole when adding salt. Ensure the salt reservoir lid is tightly closed after filling. Run the prewash program to remove any spilled salt inside the machine.

  To address rust, discoloration, or surface deterioration on dishes in your Grundig Dishwasher: * Be careful not to spill salt when filling the salt reservoir, and ensure the lid is tightly closed. Run a prewash cycle to remove any spilled salt. * If cutlery with salty food remnants will be kept waiting in the machine, remove the dirt by prewash or wash the dishes immediately. * Verify your dishwasher is connected to a proper grounding line. * Avoid washing dishes with bleach or intensive cleansers. * Do not use metal utensils for purposes other than their intended use. * If cutlery is made of low-quality stainless steel, corrosion is inevitable and they should not be washed in the dishwasher. * Do not wash already corroded items in the dishwasher.
